DJ Science aka Matt Bitts is a multi-talented individual. Not only is he a DJ, producer, BMX freestyler, and store manager, but he is also a talented graphic designer . His client list for both design work and music production include MTV, Adidas, Battle Axe Records, Nike, Timebomb Trading, The Trailer Park Boys and new hot spot Fortune Sound Club. On top of that, he makes a mean BBQ anything, having created the best spices you can get, which I experienced first hand when he gave me a bottle of his famous "Rub N Thug"! Here are some images of Matt's life.
The Proof
1. This is my favorite Yakisoba/Gyoza joint in the world. The Japanese equivalent of a greasy spoon diner. A greasy chopstick perhaps? - Yokohama, Japan.
2. This is not a Daft Punk Record cover! It's actually a Vinyl Phonograph Conservatory at the technical institute of Kanazawa. One of the most impressive places I've ever visited. - Kanazawa, Japan
3. This is our cat Chewbacca. We've taught her to sit and lie down on command. She love's seaweed. - Vancouver, British Columbia
4. Kanazawa Castle. No nails were used in the entire construction of this monument, and the walls are filled with large river rocks to stop cannon, arrow and possibly ninja throwing star attacks. Ridiculous! - Kanazawa, Japan
5. This place reminds me of The Golden Girls. RIP Bea Arthur. - Palm Desert, California
6. This is my homeboy Stu. Life of the party, party of the life. Notice the Evel Knievel helmet.....priceless! - Campbell River, British Columbia
7. If you look closely, you can see the 'Who's' from 'Horton Hears A Who!" - Palm Desert , California
8. Practice Swing (honest, I swear) while golfing alongside Vancouver's very own pro skateboarder, Alex Chalmers. - La Quinta, California
The Questions
What do you do and where?

What neighborhood do you live in?
I 'Live' Downtown, born in Seattle, but grew up and represent Edgemont Village in North Van. You can take the kid out of North Van, but you can't take the North Van out of the kid. Mark my words, when I finally retire, I will campaign for Mayor of Edgemont Village.
